We are flying to Southern California for a wedding on a Blueberry Ranch Northeast of Santa Barbara. We meet up at LAX (Los Angeles International Airport) with our daughter Katie who is flying from North Carolina. Our flights arrive 30 minutes apart. We’ll head north to our hotel and then on Saturday go farther North picking up Josh and Laura who are flying into Santa Barbara and on to the wedding we will go.
On Sunday we will trek across L.A. headed east to visit with my mom and pop before we fly home on Sunday evening. A whirlwind trip covering many miles on the 101 Fwy and interstate 5. It will be nice to be with my family and friends at Caleb and Marie’s wedding and have a visit with my mom and pop before we all head home on Sunday night. Katie will head back to North Carolina just in time for Andrew’s return from a month long training. As a dear friend of mine has coined…”Life is Rich”!
The photo above was taken by my sister Lana on Thursday night at the apartment. My niece Melissa was celebrating her birthday with my mom and enjoying strawberry cupcakes! A very special birthday to remember…
I’ll be sharing lots of photos of the newlyweds soon…
My computer will not be traveling with me so I’ll check in with y’all on Monday! Have a lovely weekend!

Have a wonderful trip and a really lovely visit with your Mom!
May God’s hand of protection and blessing be upon you in your travels and visits. What a beautiful photo of your mom! It’s so special to see that the timing of this family wedding gives you some bonus time with loved ones.
Echoing Anneliese’s comments. My you experience God’s presence and His protecting hand as you travel, enjoy the wedding and spend precious time with your mom and your family.
Oh you have a blessed and safe weekend. I know that your heart is full. And I also know that no matter how much is going on, you can sing “It is Well With My Soul.” Praying traveling mercies for everyone!
Safe travels to you and your loved ones! Thinking of you ….
Safe travels, and have a grand time!
In all your busyness, it is lovely to see your dear mother’s smile.
Glad you like your carpet and flooring and that you were able to take your trip. Look forward to hearing about the wedding. Great to see your mom smiling!
